Prompt #9

Select another of the “Point/Counterpoint: Critical Issues in Technology,” in Chapter 6 of Technology Applications for the Digital Classroom.  List the issue # you are reviewing and then identify which position you believe is most accurate/valid, and explain why.  

I agree with the yes side of this argument. Facebook is just another way of connecting with people is it not? And as the writer argues, as teachers are we not trying to make connections with students everyday? People who think that it is crossing legal or personal lines should rethink their position. This is a digital age and Facebook is one of the most powerful programs that the world has ever seen. As long as teachers or other adults use the Facebook connections professionally, then I do not see any problem with allowing students to request friendship to teachers.
